💖 NAME 💖

Log::Dispatch::Screen — Object for logging to the screen. literally an object whose whole job is logging to the screen (and “screen” here really means STDOUT or STDERR, okay bestie 🖥️✨).

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.71 — that's the version, iconic and periodt 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the whole setup, copy-paste core — vibe check passed 🎀:

  use Log::Dispatch;

  my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
      outputs => [
          [
              'Screen',
              min_level => 'debug',
              stderr    => 1,
              newline   => 1
          ]
      ],
  );

  $log->alert("I'm searching the city for sci-fi wasabi");

that ate, honestly 🎀🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this module provides an object for logging to the screen — and by “screen” it really means STDOUT or STDERR 🖥️💖.

big heads-up bestie: a newline will not be added automatically at the end of a message by default — lowkey important. if you want that, pass newline => 1 — yes, that exact thing, fr fr ✨.

🌸 CONSTRUCTOR 🌸

the constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output — don't forget those, iykyk 🫶:

• stderr (0 or 1) — indicates whether or not logging information should go to STDERR. if false, logging information is printed to STDOUT instead. this defaults to true ✅
• utf8 (0 or 1) — if this is true, then the output will be encoded using the UTF-8 encoding. if you have already applied an encoding layer to the relevant filehandle, STDOUT or STDERR, then your output will end up double-encoded if this is true 😭. this defaults to false ❌

💅 SUPPORT 💅

not me hoping you never need this, but if something's busted, bugs may be submitted at <https://github.com/houseabsolute/Log-Dispatch/issues> — that's the spot 🐛💅
